Description
Introduction: Nursing Profession is a blend of clinical and theoretical courses which are challenging and difficult. Therefore, nursing students experience higher levels of burnout in their academic and clinical environment. The purpose of this review is to elaborate associated factors and consequences of burnout and recommend a few suggestions to decrease the burnout levels.
Methodology: Narrative review was conducted to assess the associated factors and consequences of burnout. The review included 17 studies and search strategies, and reporting was followed by using preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.
Results: Learning environment, lack of interest, lack of knowledge about the profession, lack of support and facilitation, clinical environment, long hours of study and work in clinical area are the main factors that promote burnout. Burnout affects the motivation, engagement, focus on their skills and studies, and self-efficacy of the nursing students.
Discussion: Burnout increases frustration, agitation, and poor inter-personal and inter-professional relationships. Therefore, there is a need to explore the perceptions of nursing students regarding burnout and implementation of the interventions to reduce the burnout.
